Kitchenuymics: [Science] How do you...?


What is  your method for cooking?
Apart from wielding a spoon 🍽, what is the best way to approach a dish? 😁

In my limited experience, I can only think 🤔 of 3 ways:
-------------------------------------------------------

By calculation
  • You are the systematic researcher. 🔍
  • You're one to pore over a variety of FoodTube videos until you settle for the perfect recipe resource.  Or if your mother gave you her precious & thick recipe notebook, you sift through it until you find THE one!  
  • You then follow a l l the steps to the very last comma and dot.
Is it safe to say every kitchen fledgling begins like this?

 By serendipity
  • You are the eccentric inventor , who adds into the pot just about anything! 
  • And zip-zap 🗲, by chance some unique and delicious, and hopefully, fine-looking, concoction comes out from your food experiment.
    (Oh, lucky you!)
  • You are somewhat of an adventurer, like Indiana Jones, who just wings it every time; trusting that your gut, literally, and your fancy will take your food and taste buds to an exciting journey!
For the skilled masters and for the truly brave ones who just, you know, dare to taste out of the box!

 By combination
  • The combo blends together the best of both of both worlds! ☯
  • Prep the basics of the dish first and then a little twist here and there, add a few secret ingredients, and voila! your very own version of the dish.
A good place to be - basics and some imagination!

Which one is your method?
Or do you have another one?  Do tell!

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

Is da you?

i & our achi are having a bout of colds & flu.  she got hers from school, i think.  and i got mine from hers, from the all-nighters i had taking care of her the 1st few days onset.    but by God's grace, we are better, it's just a matter of time :-).  our shobe is just like her papa, healthy as a horse, (er maybe pony would suit her better), and still all by God's grace! :-)    s o anyway, i just had to cook some soup for us.. something easy to swallow w/ our sensitive throats, not oily, and with a chock-full of vitamins to help our bodies in this battle with the virus.  to me,  tinolang isda (translation: fish) is just the right answer! t he last time i cooked tinolang isda was in Cebu 7-ish months ago.   when I and my family got here, i was hesitant to cook the same, because i was not familiar with the fresh fish in this region.  Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...
